Le Galaxie – Midnight Midnight

There is an euphoric mood around Dublin’s Le Galaxie at the moment, you can hear on the online discussions, see it in their own clever video promos (see below, love it so much – thanks Nay!) but mostly in the music that they are producing. ‘Midnight Midnight’ is by some distance the best electronica I’ve heard from this country in years and while it may be old skool in that it pushes that hey boy, hey girl here-we-go whoop it is super electrifying. At various points it sounds like the Luftwaffe are overhead which is pretty apt given that the tune is going to down a bomb everywhere it is played over the next few months. Bodes well for the full length ‘Laserdisc Nights II’ which is due in early June. They may well bleed the blood of androids but they are still genius humans. KD
